The panoramic lift that takes you to the Bastion of Riva del Garda.

Two minutes of vertical ascent that takes you to the Bastion from the Riva del Garda landing stage. A climb with a panoramic view of the port of Riva del Garda, the Apponale Tower and the historic districts of the lakeside town.

Two minutes and … from the center of Riva del Garda vi found at the Venetian Bastion which dominates the most important lakeside town on the north side of Lake Garda.

Two minutes of vertical ascent in an entirely transparent cabin that allows you to admire the historic center of Riva del Garda from a completely new perspective.

Two minutes of emotion as you watch the Apponale Tower and the old port get smaller slowly as you go up towards the Bastion.

Once you arrive you will find a panorama waiting for you that ranges from the Castle of Arco to Tempesta, with Monte Baldo as your frame.

In addition to a breathtaking view, there is a Bar – Restaurant available for an aperitif, lunch or dinner with a super panoramic view.

All the moments are right to enjoy an aperitif with a view, a good drink with the cool of the late afternoon and the wonder of lights and shadows that this moment of the day gives to the lake.

Getting on the elevator is an emotion that stays with you. The cabin, entirely in transparent glass, offers the eye all the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Going up you fly towards the Rocchetta.

Excellent idea of taking advantage of the lift to get to the Bastion of Riva del Garda and then from there continue on foot (in trekking outfit) along the path that leads to the church of Santa Barbara, built in 1935 by the miners who worked to the pipelines of the Ponale power plant).
